So true...

Be Happy Words Matter...

I surrender...

Comforted in the knowledge that everything is as it should be

Grateful for the understanding that it is my past that has shaped me

allowing me to be the person I am today

Grateful for the understanding, that it does not define my future.

Appreciating and recognizing that I have the ability and courage

to manifest the positive future I desire

Living each day at a time; 


Enjoying each lesson learnt;

Knowing that every moment has the possibility for new happiness,

new meaning and
 the manifestation of all positive desires into my reality.

Trusting that everything is as it should be,

as I accept that it is I who attract each stumbling block into my life for a reason, forgiving myself and effortlessly finding the lesson encrusted within its silver lining,

as each challenge I overcome brings

knowledge, expansion,  understanding, empathy and happiness.

Recognizing that each and every person I encounter

has the ability to teach me something profound,

honoring the light in each and everyone,

wishing them blissful manifestation of their own positive desires,

and celebrating each happiness that is created.

With love for myself and all living things,
I enjoy in gratitude each step of this incredible journey that is my life.
The change begins with me, with open eyes, joy filled heart and conscious mind
I embrace my life, knowing I am the change.

Smile... All your dreams are coming true!

How crazy is this, 

I down loaded this photo two weeks after I moved to Cape Town 

I was staying in a friends flat which looked onto table mountain 

with no view of the ocean and as much as I love that mountain, 

I am a water baby... 

So I stuck it next to my bed and pictured it being my window 

and I renamed it "My Bedroom View"....

Six weeks later I have moved into my new home and this morning I woke up and took a photograph... it may not be exact but its close enough for me... 

Everyday I am amazed at this incredible gift we have called life, 

I am even more amazed and grateful that we can create, 

resonate and attract even our craziest dreams and make them our realities... 

They can all come true...

They will all come true...

Thoughts become things...

When you feel intensely, the universe will begin to move... to mould...

make sure the thoughts you have, are the ones you wish to create, 

be "joy-filled" as you materialize all the wonders that exists within YOU. 

Because you deserve it ALL

an abundance of 

HAPPINESS

LOVE 

and 

FULFILLMENT 

Bring your dreams to life, 

and while you do 

SMILE

it will speed up the process!

Words to make you smile...

I know I haven't written for a while, 

I promise to write again soon, in the mean time be happy :-) 

The Grass May be Greener on the Other side BUT...

In life everyone is constantly in search of the illusive greener grass that lies ‘on the other side’, most of us are too scared to take a moment and look around us to see the gifts that lie at our finger tips, we are afraid that the gifts that life is offering us will not measure up to our expectations or we will not be able to hold onto them, so with tunnel vision we continue our search for the illusive greener pastures which may lie somewhere in the distance.

The grass may always be greener on the other side, but the secret is to look around you and realize that although it may be greener, you are surrounded by opportunities to create an abundance of fragrant flower beds, exquisite large shady tree’s and soft warm mossy ground beneath them, where grass cannot grow but warmth, comfort and love can flourish... 

The secret is to look around you and acknowledge the gift offering that life sends your way and stop feeling upset because you don’t have the illusive ‘green grass’ which everyone is searching for. 

The secret is to see all the incredible gifts and opportunities you do have and to take them, to be grateful and happy and rejoice in them, treasuring and nurturing  them so that they will not feel neglected and slip away... 

If you can do that, one day you may just wake up and realize that, ‘that green grass on the other side’, pales in comparison to the beauty that is your life.

"Dolce far niente"

Italian [ˈdoltʃe far ˈnjɛnte]
[literally: sweet doing nothing]

My next challenge may sound simple but I wonder how many of you will battle to actually do it. I challenge you to pick a day, one single day, where you refuse to make any arrangements. None, not one. That's the first part, the second part is to not set your alarm and just wake up when you wake up...(if you have children book a night away and get a baby sitting or you do it one weekend and your partner can do it the next or the next) 

When you wake up, stop yourself from falling into your daily rutine, stop, think, what do I feel like doing right now? Now remeber you have no plans for the entire day, so whatever it is, you can do it. If you feel like going back to sleep, do, if you feel like flapjacks and mascarpone cheese with fresh strawberries and dark roasted coffee with full cream, have it, if you want to go for a walk, do it. 

Eat eactly what you feel like with no care for calery counting or convention, do whatever you want, but do it by yourself, give yourself time to sit in silence... alow your mind to wonder and drift and go wherever it wants to go. Sit at a side road cafe or coffee shop, read the paper or an actual book and sip on full flavored full bodied red wine or a chocolate milkshake. Listen to music that fills your heart and makes you want to sing and dance, and then sing and dance, do it, who cares if someones watching, do it because you want to and because it make you happy!

Remember happiness, like laughter, is contagious, 

so feel it openly!

Achieve nothing for a whole day except doing what gives you pleasure, enjoy it, embrace pleasure, you are worth it and you deserve it. This is not wasting time, this is "the sweet art of doing nothing", "Dolce far niente" and its your turn to enjoy it, no excuses make it happen,  Happy You Day!

Just a thought... Being in a relationship means you need to be brave...

Be brave, being in a relationship today, means being big enough and honest enough to realize that who ever you are with, will have faults, and you will have to accept those faults. And in return, that person will have to accept that you have faults too and will have to accept them too… and possibly the most difficult of all, you are going to have to look at your self honestly, admit to your faults and then work at them and compromise so that you become someone that the person you love can live with… As difficult and hard and tiresome as this sounds, don’t you think that’s the point, to find our humanity through love, and to be made the best possible version of who we can be, and them the best possible version of who they can be, by choosing to share our life by loving another human being… it is the most difficult, challenging, selfish and selfless thing we can do… and yet life without love, is a life not lived at all.

At the end of the day, putting the other persons need above your own, even when you really don't want to, compromising, putting up with each others crap, fighting, forgiving, laughing, comforting, being 'in love', to 'not being your favorite person at the moment' and not leaving, choosing ‘this life’ because you know that at the end of the day that person makes you the best version of you, you can be and you do the same for them... a relationship that lasts, that goes the distance, is so rare and fragile and requires a large amount of bravery, but That Is True Love... and that Is a Big Deal.
